  • Bengalis have revived debate of language imposition. English medium education is highly in demand and Bengali language in that case becomes marginalised.

The article from MSN discusses the political and cultural dynamics surrounding the imposition of Hindi in West Bengal, highlighting the state's resistance to linguistic hegemony. It explores how the push for Hindi as a national language is perceived as an attempt to marginalize regional languages and cultures, particularly in non-Hindi speaking states like West Bengal. The piece details the historical context of language politics in India, the role of regional parties like the Trinamool Congress in advocating for linguistic diversity, and the broader implications for national unity and identity. It also touches upon recent events where the promotion of Hindi has sparked protests and debates, emphasizing the ongoing struggle for linguistic rights and cultural preservation in the face of centralizing linguistic policies.
